Ableton/Live/UG/09 Audio Clips Tempo and Warping/03 Warp Modes/01 Beats Mode
- For material with a strong rhythm, such as drum loops and most dance music; it keeps transients intact.
- Preserve: Transients for percussive material, or a grid division to keep fixed beat divisions. Large divisions with transposition give rhythmic artifacts.
- Transient Loop Mode, for the end of each segment between transients:
- Loop Off: plays to its end, then silence until the next transient.
- Loop Forward: jumps back to a zero-crossing near the segment's middle and loops until the next transient.
- Loop Back-and-Forth: plays back and forth from a zero-crossing near the middle until the next transient; with preserved transients this often sounds best, especially at slow tempos.
- Transient Envelope: the fade on each segment. 100 means no fade; lower values decay faster, from smoothing clicks to gating effects.
